The official Twitter account of Need For Speed shared some new information about the latest part in this legendary racing series. As it was recently revealed, Need For Speed will be a complete reboot of the series and not a sequel. We have just a few hours ago reported that the game will require an online connection in order to be played.

In addition a few other details were shared, which can be viewed below:

The developers did not comment on any details regarding a frame lock, so it could be possible that unlike Need for Speed Rivals the new title, will have an unlocked framerate on the PC and possibly on the consoles as well.

@HechtJoshua Hello Joshua. We have not announced details such as a frame lock as of yet. Watch this space for more info.

The developers assure that being connected will allow a more enjoyable experience with friends joining in the narrative experience, something that if done right could prove to be quite innovating and truly unique.

@JonBarry3 Being connected will allow your friends to be part of your narrative experience, something only possible through connected play.

The developers, Ghost Games clarify that the latest iteration is not Underground 3, but it does share many of the features and aspects that made the Underground titles great. On June 15 more information on Need for Speed will be unveiled during EA’s press conference.
